The Last Of My Splurge

Alright, so the one final piece of my previous splurge came in.

That my friends is the Jake Cave 2015 Bowman Chrome autograph. It's the last Yankees autograph I needed from 2015 Bowman Chrome.
Jake Cave is an interesting prospect. Based on the things he allegedly can and can't do, he reminds me of Brett Gardner. He can hit for a high average, make consistent contact, has some speed, is pretty competent defensively, power is kind of iffy, and hits from the left side. Depending on how he works on his approach against left handers, he could range from Gardner's heir as the everyday left fielder, to a fourth outfielder. He was promoted to triple-A very late in the year and saw some time in the triple-A playoffs. He'll likely repeat the level next year and be one of the many lefty hitting outfielders currently providing the Yankees with outfield depth. Oh and he's a huge fan of Eminem.

Now I have all three Yankees prospect autographs from 2015 Bowman Chrome. Now to wait for the autographs in Bowman Draft as well as the hype/prices on the Bowman trio (Refsnyder/Mateo/Severino) to die down. Can't forget Domingo German (even though he's a Marlin) either I guess.
